I'm still missing some minor functions, such as money but life hasn't killed me yet.
Sure it threw a car at me, but like 2000 pounds of metal traveling at any given speed isn't going to take me out.

Of course, it would poetic for a car to come through my wall any second now...

No, I'm still good.

This is kind of funny. I'm looking for some harder to find shipping pairs.
I mean, it's easy enough to find Rarity/Applejack stuff, and Twilight/Fluttershy isn't impossible to locate. But it's really hard to find good Pinkie/Celestia stuff.

I'll probably complete the full cycle later and go looking for Dash/Gilda or Sweetie/Luna too...

I'm just venting here, because it feels horrible to vent over on Ponychan, mostly because I'm way to 'srs bsns' for any other outlet then /fic/ anymore.

I'm melancholic at the moment. All my actions are for naught, it's affecting my enjoyment of things I normally would like, and at the end of the day, I don't even care that much.
It makes trying to be happy and kind really hard to pull off. Lately I just want to curl up in a ball for some reason.
